From: Chuck Schooner (Account suspended)
Dear New Zealand Police/Andrew Coster,
The PM was recently on The AM Show in the last few days and stated and I quote
“It was actually the New Zealand Police Force and Defence that came to the government and sought those mandates”
Please provide any and all correspondence sought by the Police and Defense to either MOH or Government or any other agency for mandating vaccines including but not limited to
- email Correspondence
- cost/benefit analysis
- legal justification
- feedback from Police staff
- recommendation reporting
- names of people involved
- texts, call’s anything that fit this scope
As part of this can you also provide feedback on the following from an in house Police survey
- %/total staff who willingly took vaccine
- %/total staff who took vaccine because they were mandated/blackmailed to get it
- %/total staff who left
- total number of any vaccine injuries
Please also provide any and all correspondence/collaboration with Defence. I am also sending this to Defence.
Yours faithfully,
Chuck

I refer to your below Official Information Act (OIA) request below.
The current status of your request where you ask for "any and all correspondence sought by the Police and Defence to either MOH or Government or any other agency for mandating vaccines" covers a large volume of information. This means the portion of your request may be refused under Section 18(f) that the information requested cannot be made available without substantial collation. We therefore invite you to refine your request by providing a timeframe in which you would like to request this information. You may be interested in your timeframe beginning with the lodging of the judicial review.
Can you please confirm the timeframe you are interested in for this portion of your request.
Many thanks, Brittany

Dear Ministerial Services,
I am specifically asking for information relating to when the NZ Police in conjunction with Defence asked the Government to mandate the vaccination for their staff - who was the person at NZ Police that approached any agency to mandate the vaccination for NZ Police staff.
I am not sure what dates are involved - but the PM stated that Police and Defence approached the government - so who approached the government and what the initial request to government looked like when the Police approached the government and asked them to mandate it.
Yours sincerely,
Chuck Schooner

I have been asked to advise you that Police requires an extension of time

You have the right, under section 28(3) of the OIA, to make a complaint to
